There are 2 bugs in the .stt rule in base/config/RULES.Host.

Note RULES.Host is used when building code to run on the host, not on a vxWorks IOC. The more intriguing question is why there's a rule for .stt files in RULES.Host at all, since there was a very long gap between about Base R3.10 or earlier and R3.14 when SNL programs could only run on vxWorks.


Has nobody ever tried to use this rule?

In normal circumstances the %.c:../%.stt rule in base/config/RULES.Vx is the one used, and that one doesn't have this problem.


The bug is there in R3.13.2, R3.13.5 and R3.13.9 (at least).

It's actually been there since epics_R3_13_0_beta12. Janet's commit message for these lines in 1997 was:

I suspect that if we make any such change in R3.13.x it'll probably be to remove the rule completely, it doesn't make much sense there. However the R3.13.x branch of Base is not getting much attention any more other than critical bug fixes.
